Energy systems working coherently in different conditions may not have a specific design which can provide optimal performance. A system working for a longer period at lower efficiency implies higher energy consumption. In this effort, a methodology demonstrated by a jet pump design and optimization via numerical modeling for fluid dynamics and implementation of an evolutionary algorithm for the optimization shows a reduction in computational costs. The jet pump inherently has a low efficiency because of improper mixing of primary and secondary fluids, and multiple momentum and energy transfer phenomena associated with it. The high fidelity solutions were obtained through a validated numerical model to construct an approximate function through surrogate analysis. Pareto-optimal solutions for two objective functions, i.e., secondary fluid pressure head and primary fluid pressure-drop, were generated through a multi-objective genetic algorithm. For the jet pump geometry, a design space of several design variables was discretized using the Latin hypercube sampling method for the optimization. The performance analysis of the surrogate models shows that the combined surrogates perform better than a single surrogate and the optimized jet pump shows a higher performance. The approach can be implemented in other energy systems to find a better design.

최근 시뮬레이션 최적화를 통한 입 출력 변수의 분석에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이와 같은 연구에서 메타모델을 활용한 기법이 많이 제시 되고 있는데, 대부분은 중요(종속) 변수를 목적함수로, 설계(독립) 변수를 제약 조건으로 다목적 최적 함수를 구성하여 실험을 진행하고 최적해를 찾는다. 본 논문에서는 직접적인 설계 변수의 선택을 하기 위하여 설계 변수를 벡터의 형태로 전환하여 목적함수로 구성하고, 설계 변수의 정의역과 회귀 메타모델을 이용하여 제약조건을 구성하여 다목적 최적 함수를 구성하여 파레토 최적해 집합을 산출 하는 방법을 제시 하였다. 이와 같은 분석을 사용하여 최적해의 개념이 아닌 최적해 집합을 제시함으로서 설계자가 자신의 시스템에 가장 적당한 설계 변수의 선택이 가능해 지며, 메타모델의 에러 변수($\epsilon$)를 줄이기 위한 대안의 선택도 가능 할 것이다. 이와 같은 분석 기법은 관련 분야뿐 아니라 일반적인 시스템 설계 변수의 적용에도 충분히 이용이 가능 할 것이다.

A control-structure combined optimal design problem is discussed taking a 3-D truss structure as a design object. We use descriptor forms for a controlled object and a generalized plant because the structural parameters appear naturally in these forms. We consider not only minimum weight design problem for structure system, but also suppression problem of the effect of disturbances for control system as the purpose of the design. By minimizing the linear sum of the normalized structural objective function and control objective function, it is possible to make optimal design by which the balance of the structural weight and the control performance is taken.

The main objective of this paper is to propose the optimal design method of welded plate girder bridges using genetic algorithm. The objective function considered is the total weight of the welded plate girder. The behavior and design constraints are formulated based on the Korean Railroad Bridge Design Code and DIC Code. Continuous design variables are used to define the cross-sectional dimensions of the member. The GAs (genetic algorithm) is used to solve the nonlinear programming problem. Several examples of minimum weight design are solved to illustrate the applicability of the proposed minimization algorithm. From the results of application examples, the optimum design of welded plate girder is successfully accomplished. Therefore, the proposed algorithm in this paper may be used efficiently and generally for the optimum design of welded plate girders.

The Stockbridge damper is used to control the aeolian vibration of a overhead transmission line due to the natural wind under a low velocity, between 1 m/s to 7 m/s. The damper model can be simply derived with several design parameters and the location of eigenvalues of design parameters are important to determine the efficiency of energy dissipation by excitation itself with two counterweights. First, the importance of resonance frequencies of Stockbridge damper was reviewed through the analysis of frequency response function of damper system. Then, the best selection of design parameters was investigated with the introduction of objected function that minimize the distance between the calculated eigenvalues and target frequency points. The best choice of design parameters was reviewed using the simulated results from the objective function and the effectiveness of selected design case was discussed at the point view of practical implementation.

The objective of this study is the development of discrete optimum design algorithms which is based on the genetic algorithms. The developed algorithms was implemented in a computer program. For the optimum design, the objective function is the weight of space trusses structures and the constraints are stresses and displacements. This study solves the problem by introducing the genetic algorithms. The genetic algorithms consists of genetic process and evolutionary process. The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points. The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process. The efficiency and validity of the developed discrete optimum design algorithms was verified by applying the algorithms to optimum design examples.

In this paper, a shape optimization algorithm of superconducting magnet using finite element method is presented. Since the superconductor loses its superconductivity over the critical magnetic field and critical current density, this material property should be taken into account in the design process. Trial and error approach of repeating the change of the design variables costs much time and it sometimes does not guarantee an optimal design. This paper presents a systematic and efficient design algorithm for the superconducting magnet. We employ the sensitivity analysis based on finite element formulation. As for optimization algorithm, the inequality constraint for the superconducting state is removed by modifying the objective function and the nonlinear equality constraint of constant volume is satisfied by the gradient projection method. This design algorithm is applied to an optimal design problem of a solenoid air-cored superconducting magnet that has a design objective of the maximum energy storage.

디자인산업은 국가 경쟁력의 근간이 되지만, 현재 그 성장 동력에는 한계가 나타나고 있다. 이러한 이유는 정성적 가치기반의 디자인산업의 특성으로 객관적이지 못한 평가방식이 원인이며, 이로 인하여 디자인산업의 근간이라 할 수 있는 디자인전문기업의 산업적 경쟁력을 약화시켰다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 디자인의 정성적 가치 체계를 보강하고, 디자인의 산업적 경쟁력 강화를 위하여, 디자인에 대한 객관적인 가치평가 요인을 도출하고 이러한 요인들이 디자인전문기업의 해외 경쟁력과 어떠한 관계를 가지는 지를 규명하여 우리나라 디자인산업의 독자적인 경쟁력 강화방향을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 먼저 본 연구에서는 디자인에 대한 객관적인 평가요인을 측정 평가의 계량화, 프로세스의 일관성, 프로젝트의 정합성, 논리적 설득성으로 정의하였고, 디자인전문기업의 경쟁력요인을 기업의 신뢰도와 서비스 품질로 정의하였고, 연구모형을 설정하였다. 검증 결과 대부분의 가설은 채택되었으나, 평가의 계량화는 디자인전문기업의 서비스품질에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 파악되었다.

The paper deals with the identification of Pareto optimal solutions using GA based coevolution in the context of multiobjective optimization. Coevolution is a genetic process by which several species work with different types of individuals in parallel. The concept of cooperative coevolution is adopted to compensate for each of single objective optimal solutions during genetic evolution. The present study explores the GA based coevolution, and develops prescribed and adaptive scheduling schemes to reflect design characteristics among single objective optimization. In the paper, non-dominated Pareto optimal solutions are obtained by controlling scheduling schemes and comparing each of single objective optimal solutions. The proposed strategies are subsequently applied to a three-bar planar truss design and an energy preserving flywheel design to support proposed strategies.

In order to compare subjective and objective assessments, a passenger car was driven at several speeds over several road profiles. To measure the acceleration signals experienced by the seated subject who provided an subjective assessment, four triaxial translational accelerometers and one triaxial gyro sensor were mounted on the steering wheel and on the passenger seat and floor, respectively. Correlations were determined between the measured accelerations and the subjective assessments of 3 expert subjects and 9 general subjects using psychophysical power law.
